Jack |
Joining Harriet at Ironman Copenhagen. This time we’re going to stop Jack from training himself into the ground before he hits the start line! “Goal for next year is to train smart and put in a time that reflects what I can do rather than injure and hobble round “. Jack is also a Personal Trainer who has made the transition from strength to endurance athlete. In addition to his day job in finance Jack has been leading virtual strength and conditioning sessions during lockdown.

Goal: Kona qualification (tick!)
Gareth started life as a distance runner at school after he realised he didn’t have the build to be a rugby player. He went on to represent Surrey while still a junior before going of to university, stopping running and starting racing mountain bikes. He made it from novice all the way to elite racing at European and World Cups picking up a National Championship title along the way. From there he made the natural transition to triathlon after a friend convinced him the day before a race to come and do it and he’s glad he did as he picked up a second place overall. After several good Ironman finishes he’s now getting serious after qualifying for Kona at Ironman UK. |

Leena |
Leena is another international athlete in our squad orginally from Finland and living in the UK since 2006.
Always an active person loving cycling and hiking, but wasn’t doing anything competitive until 2014 when she decided to enter Blenheim super sprint triathlon and then was hooked even though she says her swim and run were terrible. Since then she’s done several triathlons from super sprint to middle distance. She’s also finished 3 marathons and an 50k ultra trail and other multisport events, such as swim runs. The feeling of finishing a race is something fantastic, although during one it rarely seems like a good idea! In 2019 she took part in Cardiff sprint tri, and from there gained a place in the ITU World Champs in Edmonton in Canada in 2020. The pandemic meant the race was postponed to 2021 October, now in Bermuda! She says she’s feeling super motivated to train, and is looking forward to see how much she can push herself with proper coaching. |
